The primary business/management database, Business Source Premier, was recently upgraded to Business Source Complete. Included as part of the comprehensive coverage offered by this database are indexing and abstracts for the most important scholarly business journals, dating back as far as 1886. In addition to the searchable cited references provided for more than 1,200 journals, Business Source Complete contains detailed author profiles for the 40,000 most-cited authors in the database. BSC covers 3370 full text journals, as opposed to 2300 in BSP. The coverage of industry reports, company profiles and market research reports has also greatly expanded. Business Source Complete functions the same as Business Source Premier and the expansion of the database is thus, seamless.
